Re: [Staffslug] How do I...?
From the man page:
-R Descends directories recursively, changing the ownership for each
file. When a symbolic link is encountered and the link points to a
directory, the ownership of that directory is changed but the directory
is not further transversed.

what does that (-R) mean?
